Excellent find super windy, advised viewing, as you suggest.
Hugh Piggott is certainly the DIY wind master - 'neccesity is the mother of invention'.
Interestingly:
Hugh has a surprisingly minimal scottish accent.

Hi ben cheers, I do think it was a good find at least all the little gotwinds have an excuse to see the "godfather", I also noticed that his scottish accent wasn't what I was expecting, but then again he is a well travelled man.
cheerio

Accents differ in Scotland even within a 7 mile radius.Hugh has more of an english accent than scottish by the sounds of it. I have also noticed that a lot of people from inverness sound English too.. Accents are an amazing thing! Notice the difference even between fungus and myself and we live very near each other!!

Hugh is a nice guy and true pioneer. He generously responded to my questions by email. I was impressed by his lengthy and informative replies.

Super Windy,
Thank you for sharing this. It has put a new image to the books, his manual and methods. Very nice find.

I completely agree with MattM. Hugh was extremely patient and helpful in response to my own cretinous questions, and I hold him in high regard.
